Planned Transportation Spending

Oklahoma

An examination of Oklahoma’s 2011-2014 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals that road maintenance/minor widening projects account for the largest chunk of the proposed expenditures (45 percent). Bridge maintenance/replacement projects follow, at 23 percent of the proposed spending. New road capacity projects comprise 12 percent. Transit projects and projects classified as “other” each make up 6 percent of the STIP. Safety projects* account for 4 percent of the planned spending. Bicycle/pedestrian projects make up 2 percent of the STIP, as do road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway). Bridge capacity expansion projects make up less than 1 percent of the planned spending.
